Cloverdale schools are wrapping up significant portions of a renovation project just ahead of the start of school this week.

Superintendent Greg Linton says it’s been a hot summer with HVAC replacement.

Linton says another piece of the project should make them more energy efficient.

Linton says a thanks and tip of the cap goes to several staff members who worked thru a hot summer in the buildings.

As for schools opening, Cloverdale will take the angle most have with its re-entry plan.  Masks are optional for students starting the year.  However, due to federal mandate, they are still required on buses.
